NOVEMBER started with one winner and one loser so can’t really argue with that.

The Super Single was Barcelona to win and I’m still wondering why I picked Lionel Messi to score for yesterday’s Daily Record and changed it for the site.

My Top Treble wasn’t posted in the paper and that won thanks to St Mirren’s late consolation at Morton. Besiktas v Napoli btts, Morton v St Mirren btts and Benfica to win paid 15-4. The Portuguese were the only side to keep a clean sheet in the Champions League so well done to those who targeted goals.

Greg Browning had a mixture of winners and losers but Jordan’s Napoli tips didn’t land. I saw good winners all over the site and well done to Danny who was on Celtic to score a penalty at 16-1 and to miss one at 50-1. I was almost willing Moussa Demeble to fluff his kick just to bring up the bigger odds.

Wednesday sees another eight Champions League ties and I’ve posted a separate preview. For a Super Single I’ve decided to go with an evens-money double – Dortmund at home to Sporting and Real Madrid -1 at Legia Warsaw.

The Top Treble is both to score at Copenhagen v Leicester, Sevilla to score 2+ at home to Dinamo Zagreb and Bayer Leverkusen to avoid defeat against Spurs at Wembley.

Thanks for the mention Paul but i am not disappointed that Demeble scored
it means we should have something to play for right up to the last game against Barca
unless BMG get a result against them in the next game.
Europa League here we come.

I saw your comment saying you wanted him to score which is understandable.
That Borussia home defeat is the one that will come back to haunt Celtic – they need to win one of their last two and hope the Germans get nothing.
It’s a tall order but as you say still in there fighting.
I’m off down the Costa Clyde – will check in late afternoon.

Yet again the X factor winner is favourite to be xmas number one but with everyone’s help we can make a lot of money for a worthy cause by spreading the word and if you want even have a bet on it

Scottish band THE KING LOT have teamed up with THE JOLLYBOYS from Livingston to release a cover of U.S band TYKETTO’s song Wings,
All in aid of the M.S Society

The bookies have opened up a market on the xmas number one and make The King Lot featuring The Jollyboys the 10/1 second favourites

THE KING LOT

They have stepped into the breech and agreed to be the musical side of our Jollyboys Xmas charity song Wings (Tyketto)

They are an amazing set of lads risking ife and limb in aid of The MS Society as working with the Jollyboys is not insurable.

Over the next few weeks they will be dragging the Jollyboys kicking and screaming into the studio to record a mountanous, hugh mungus, (I know it’s not right) epic, gonad dropping version of the Tyketto song Wings

And folks this year we absolutely mean business when we say we want the UK Xmas number 1

MS will be the awareness topic on everybodys lips this Christmas and The Jollyboys and The King Lot will be raising that little glass award thingy you get for being top of the charts

So I am throwing out a challenge to whichever big name wants to take us on….take a holiday this Xmas don’t waste your time firing out a record you have no chance of beating these guys.

Hi gents. No joy with Napoli last night who didn’t start as fast as I’d expected. Mertens started on the bench so the scorer was voided with 888.

Tonight I’m heading to Monaco where the French are in one of the tightest groups in the league and host CSKA Moscow. I’m not sure of the exact stat, but I’m fairly sure CSKA haven’t kept a clean sheet in the Champions League since 2011. Monaco snatched a late point in Moscow and are unbeaten at home and scoring well (21 goals in 8 games). The Russians will be without Eremenko and Dzagoev so two attacking threats missing. Monaco should prevail and stay top of the group with a win and hopefully a couple of goals in the process.

– This one is looking pretty good as, to be honest, you would expect. I think I’m right in saying the Atletico/Munich line is a winner with them out of sight, but Real and Dortmund still need at least another result. Hopefully by the end of the night this will be near enough nailed on.

– A little more in the balance here. Dortmund look good to qualify but Porto have got a real scrap on their hands. Leicester’s fast start sees Copenhagen and Porto battle it out for 2nd so far. Hopefully Porto can do the business at home to Brugge tonight, with Leicester doing a favour by taking more points off Copenhagen. Could all come down to Porto travelling to Copenhagen though!

Think I’m gonna’ stick with the sides I’m already banking on in the anteposts. Slightly lower stakes treble, though the team goals can be bundle together for an evens double, I fancy Real to win by 2 or more as much as the other selections. So, treble it is!

Let’s hope Dortmund don’t pull a ‘Gladbach on us tonight, and I can see Lyon potting at Juventus in an attempt to put themselves back in the thick of things in that group. And MrF’s Cop/Foxes pick completes the coupon.
Tasty Treble
Dortmund win
Juve v Lyon BTTS
Copenhagen v Leicester BTTS
(9/2 Lads FOBT)

Despite topping La Liga Real have only kept 2 clean sheets in 10 games. Tonight I believe they will be without Pepe and Ramos. Legia netted in the away leg and there is no reason they can’t score at home. I would expect Madrid to net a few and come out of the game with a win.
Dortmund (in my opinion) haven’t been great in the last few games although have been hampered by a lengthy injury list. Would expect goals in this game like the reverse 2-1 leg

Just to take the focus away from CHL for a minute Næstved play North Sjælland in the Danish cup tonight.
Last year Naestved knocked the top tier club out with 9 men after getting two sent off Within the first half!!!
North sjaelland will be looking for revenge but not without a fight.

Just a quick look at the stats show that both score and concede regularly. I expect goals here. BTTS + overs.@2.00 with bet365 (NAP)

Extra info north sjaelland play on artificial turf. Naestved’s pitch is reported not great and this will play to their advantage plus conditions are cold and wet. Gonna take the home team draw no bet @3.40 small stakes plenty of upsets in this cup so far this season. Maybe one more tonight!

I have been having quite a lot of success with goal scorers recently but some are far too short tonight (aubameyang and silva to name a few)

I have found some value in the Copenhagen vs Leicester match with MAHREZ. He has scored 3 goals so far in the group stages and scored the only goal in the reverse fixture and 2 against club Brugge (albrighton got the opener)

Bolivian football…not sure/doubt whether anybody else in the UK was watching the UdS v The Strongest game but give me that over banal CL football any day of the week – like watching a really violent soap opera…UdS equalise in the 94th to keep the bets alive 😂

Repost of the Costa Rican game previewed yesterday (change of KO to 2.00am):

DEPORTIVO SAPRISSA VS. BELÉN SIGLO XXI (22.00 KO):

I like Costa Rican games and I especially like Saprissa…I like them even more when they play Belen Siglo!

You have to go back 11 games to find a H2H where Saprissa didn’t put at least 2 past the ‘Bellenders’ and the games are rarely ever dull.

Saprissa have faced a few of the tougher CR teams of late (Herediano, Alajuense et al) but prior to that, were racking up a number of victories whilst scoring 3s, 4s and a couple of 6s and Team Goals might just be the way to go tonight.

You’re not going to get rich but for anyone looking for a short priced bet, Over 1.5 Saprissa goals at 4/9 is a great shout – for those wanting something around the evens mark this is certainly one to consider:
